Despite what we go through we must never loose our faith in God

, Job experienced a crisis of faith in the Bible:

• Suffering

Job endured severe trials, including the loss of his children, wealth,
and health.

• Questions

Job questioned God's reason for allowing him to suffer, and even
accused God of injustice.
• Friends

Job's friends intended to comfort him, but instead accused him of


wrongdoing.

• Faith

Job's faith was tested, but he never lost it. He continued to pray to
God, and eventually came to see that God's governance of the
universe was wonderful.

• Reward

God blessed Job with a twofold inheritance after Job obeyed God and
interceded on behalf of his friends.

The lesson from this story of Job is that we too can trust God when
life appears to be over. When we know beyond our circumstances,
fears and human expectations, that God has a bigger plan for our lives
that we cannot see or understand, our journey through hard times can
be softened with peace and hope. Instead of seeking to defend
ourselves before God, Job’s experience shows us God has a perfect
plan in place, and “by life or by death,” may Christ be exalted.

A crisis of faith is a time when a Christian questions or doubts their


faith in God, and may feel disconnected from God. It can be a painful
experience that can cause confusion, grief, and a variety of emotions.
Some things that can trigger a crisis of faith include: A tragic event, A
situation going wrong, A painful loss, and Feeling like God isn't
acting as expected.

Some examples of people in the Bible who experienced a crisis of


faith include:

• Moses, who told God in Numbers 11:14-15, “this is too much for
me”

• Elijah, who told God in I Kings 19:3-4, “I have had enough, let me
die”

We must trust God in our crisis


Psalms 46:1
Verse 1: "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in
trouble." God is actively busy as your protector, providing strength
and help in the midst of any crises we face. He is our refuge. He is our
protector. He builds walls around us.

A crisis will reveal who you are.

You may think you believe something but only through a crisis will
you discover if you truly believe it

Romans 5:3-5 ESV

Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering
produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character
produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's
love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has
been given to us.
God uses crises, difficulties and tragedies as “wake-up calls” to jolt
people out of their own self-sufficiency and awaken them
